    Sala Par\u00e9s<\/u><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Founded in 1877 (that’s right 1877) The Sala Par\u00e9s has a strong claim to be the oldest Art Gallery not only in Barcelona but in all of Spain! They have held exhibits of such important artists as Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dal\u00ed, to name but two, and so expect to see some Art of the highest level at the Sala Par\u00e9s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where<\/strong>? Carrer Petritxol, 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Canal Gallery<\/u><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    A new kid on the block gallery and causing waves, this gallery has a strong Urban Art focus. The first gallery in the city to hold a dedicated LGBTQI+ exhibition, the first gallery in Europe to host such legends of the Graffiti world as SAMO and Cornbread, this is definitely one to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where?<\/strong> Carrer del Palau, 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the Canal Gallery is also where you will find the office of Artspace Tours, come and say hola! We’re always happy to meet fellow art lovers! Check our website<\/u><\/a> where we offer guided routes by local art experts that get beyond the fa\u00e7ade of the galleries and offer exclusive access to behind-the-scenes experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Galeria Max\u00f3<\/u><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    ”In the heart of Barcelona, the city which inspires us with its beauty, diversity and non-stop madness, we attempt to honor it in our paintings and collages where you will find the most iconic corners of the city: famous buildings, restaurants, graffiti.. but the influence of this magical city doesn\u2019t stop there, we bring it\u2019s essence to all our pieces.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These words were taken form the website and are a great summary of the ethos of Galeria Max\u00f3. Note that this is on the same street as the Sala Par\u00e9s and so you can check them both out easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where?<\/strong> C\/ de Petritxol, 18<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Artevistas<\/u><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Run by one of the coolest personalities in the Barcelona art scene- Fabienne, the fairy Godmother of many a Barcelona artist, at Artevistas expect to see a unique collection of contemporary art, both emerging and established artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A collection that includes original paintings, drawings, sculptures, photography, print-screen, lithographs, prints and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where?<\/strong> Passatge del Cr\u00e8dit, 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ruben Torres<\/u><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Run by the Gallerist of the same name, Rub\u00e9n Torres, this gallery is a stylish and sassy mix of the classical and the contemporary. Expect to see a Picasso lithograph within a 17th-century Baroque frame above a neon pink contemporary-as-can-be-armchair. Such a mix would be hard for any regular person to pull off but Rub\u00e9n makes it work, effortlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where? <\/strong>Carrer de la Palla, 33<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Villa del Art<\/u><\/a>e<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Villa del Arte is a gallery based both in Amsterdam and Barcelona, and they have a knack for discovering visually sensational artists. Colourful paintings, intricate sculptures, and huge portraits shout for your attention in this small but powerful space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where? <\/strong>Carrer de la Tapineria, 39<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    CIUTAT7 Gallery by Lara Kal\u00f3<\/u><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    More than just a gallery of the artist, this space is the creation space and studio. Here you will find Lara with her hands dirty as she works on her powerful Neo-Fauvist portraits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Where?<\/strong> Carrer de la Ciutat 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n
